The lawsuit against gun manufacturer Remington Arms by the families of victims of the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary has taken a shocking and tasteless turn.

According to a motion filed last week, in place of internal documents the gun-maker was required to submit included thousands of "random" images.


These included cartoon images, photographs sports and social gatherings and videos of gender reveals and ice-bucket challenges.

The Connecticut Post shared some of the accompanying images to their Twitter page.


Josh Koskoff, the lead attorney for the victims of the families, did not hold back on his anger in this bizarre turn of events, telling The Huffington Post:

"Nothing about the tactics that have been employed by the defense...surprise me."
"The last thing Remington wants is for us to get the information that these families deserve from them, because I'm sure they know it's deeply incriminating about their marketing conduct."
"This is a defendant that doesn't want these families to know the truth, because they're worried about the truth."
"That's the only conclusion you can draw."

Filed as early as 2014, the lawsuit charges Remington with improperly marketing the AR-15 rifle, with which Adam Lanza murdered 26 students and teachers at Sandy Hook Elementary School in December of 2012.

Remington made an appeal to stop the lawsuit in 2019, which was rejected by the Supreme Court.

Last year, Remington had been accused of trying to derail the lawsuit after filing for bankruptcy.

Many took to Twitter to express their disgust at Remington's actions.





James Vogts, lead attorney for Remington, has yet to comment on the cartoons, but told The Connecticut Post:

"[Remington] will respond to this motion in the coming weeks, and point out what it believes are incorrect representations, numerous half-truths, and important omissions by counsel."

Fox Host Slams Dem For Dropping An F-Bomb After Praising Trump For The Same Thing Just Minutes Earlier

Fox News host Emily Compagno was criticized after she praised Donald Trump's use of the "f-bomb" earlier this week before condemning Texas Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett's use of the same word—on the same episode of her show, no less.

Trump made headlines this week after admonishing Israel and Iran for violating a ceasefire agreement he'd announced on Truth Social. Although he claimed the ceasefire had been "agreed upon," Iran fired at least six missile barrages at Israel after it was supposed to take effect.

State Department Slammed After Requiring Visa Applicants To Make All Social Media Posts Public For Vetting

The State Department is facing harsh criticism after it announced that anyone applying for an F, M, or J nonimmigrant visa will need to disclose all social media profiles from the last five years, requiring that all applicants set their posts to public so they can be properly vetted by its agents.

The agency said the new rules are part of a new screening process aimed at identifying individuals who may pose a threat to U.S. national security. According to the department, failure to comply could result in a denial, and consular officers have been instructed to flag signs of “hostility” toward the U.S.—though the criteria for such determinations remain vague.
